Like gmrodes has stated, the belt box alignment is off a bit and that could just be an adjustment after suiting up and some foam to keep the sniper knee from going under your thigh. and Adjust your strapping on your thighs to make them as close in height as you can.

Cool model, I like the bearded look!
Some well placed supports will give him a nice clean shave!

Welcome to the FISD Matt.
I can tell you that Kevin make a great kit (I've built one of his Shoretrooper kits and helped a fellow trooper on a FOTK. It is by far the most complicated of the kits Stormtrooper kits to build but if you've built a R2 unit then you should be ok. Best of luck with your build and any questions ask away!

Don't be alarmed if people push you to be as accurate as possible, that's kinda our thing around here. You may call us obsessed
Just a little Seriously, welcome to FISD.
You've come to the right place to start your research in pursuing the dream to wear the armor that we all have a passion for.
If you haven done so I would start by reading this section here!
You’ll find just about everything you think of when it comes to getting started and your armor needs! Speaking of armor needs our fellow Trooper and Deployment Office justjoseph63 has put together a great and very useful checklist of what you’ll need other then that amazing white shiny stuff. I found that personally it came in extremely helpful for my build.

Hope that helps point you in the right direction, I know its a ton of information and a good size financial commitment so if any other questions come up feel free to ask.

Bienvenidos a la FISD !! Si no lo has hecho, ¡empezaré leyendo esta sección aquí! ¡Encontrará casi todo lo que piensa cuando se trata de comenzar y su armadura necesita! Hablando de armaduras, nuestro compañero Agente y Oficina de Despliegue justjoseph63 ha reunido una excelente y muy útil lista de lo que necesitarás además de ese increíble material blanco brillante. Encontré que personalmente fue extremadamente útil para mi compilación.
Una vez que todo se haya decidido, me sumergiré en nuestras secciones EIB / Centurion y descubriré qué esfuerzo adicional puede obtener en la precisión de la pantalla.
Espero que eso lo ayude a orientarse en la dirección correcta. Sé que es un montón de información y un compromiso financiero de buen tamaño, por lo que si tiene alguna otra pregunta, no dude en preguntar.
Es por eso que estamos aquí "Tropas ayudando a Tropas" La mejor de las suertes en tu viaje.

Welcome to the FISD! You've started down the path the same way as many including my set took. Just keep adding the pieces of the puzzle till BBB day! If you haven't added it yet a blaster build should be up next!

Welcome Basti!
The files look great so far. Be sure to check out our 3D resources that Dan listed above.
I have 3 CR-10's but I will tell you that unless you plan on molding and vacuum forming kits for sale I'll be much quicker and more cost effective to go with an approved vendor.
Don't forget to factor in your time post printing for sanding and sanding and then wet sanding some more before you begin sanding lol, best of luck with your journey! The files really do look amazing!

Welcome to FISD.
Looks like my fellow troopers have pointed you in the right direction for sure. It can and has been done before and as long as its built to you it'll be no worries!

We've all had that feeling of "what have I gotten myself into" before the first cut but trust me when I tell you, after the fist cut you realize its not that bad.
Follow the build threads in the EIB/Centurion sections and also read and re-read ukswraths build threads as he really breaks it down with a ton of photos and descriptions. I know I treated them like an instruction manual and to this day refer to them to confirm an answer to a question.
Best of luck in your journey.
